Valves 5/3

Ultra-low power consumption, silent operation, and unmatched performance — all in one compact form.

muVaP’s next-generation piezoelectric valves deliver exceptional versatility for industrial and medical applications. Our 5/3 valve is engineered to handle a wide range of pressures and flow rates.

The 5-port, 3-state configuration is an ultra compact form of 2x 3/2 valves, allowing precise control of gas flow through five ports: pressure supply, vacuum supply; outlet (load), and two vents (exhaust). The 5/3 valve switches between two flow states:

• Connecting one of the supplies to the outlet port
• Simultaneously venting the other outlet port to an exhaust
• Blocking all ports to maintain the current pressure state

This enables seamless switching between the vacuum and pressure states of a pump, thus pressurizing or depressurizing the outlet per demand, or holding the pressure/vacuum state.

A normally closed version is also available for systems requiring a passive closed condition when unpowered.

Thanks to its compact size, lightweight, battery-operable design, the muVaP 5/3 valve can be directly integrated into portable or embedded systems.
